2. Integrated Data Protection: PowerShell-based RMC-HV

3. What is HPE RMC ?
Servers
RMC VM is the Snapshot Scheduler of HPE Disk Arrays and the Data Mover between them and StoreOnce;
RMC supports Flat Backup of ANY data in these arrays with Crash-consistency;
RMC VM provides feature-rich REST API and could be used for scripting;
RMC is a Virtual Machine hosted on either VMware or Hyper-V hypervisor;

4. Supported Deployment Supported scopes: Windows 2016 Hyper-V server;
Leverage Windows PowerShell (3PARinfo) to get VM/VHD/VV LUN mapping information;
Use PowerShell to call RMC via REST API in creating Recovery Set  Backup Policy and schedule/execute Express Protect;
Leverage Hyper-V Production Checkpoint(VSS) for Application Data Consistency inside VM;
Restore by leveraging RMC ERT to mount Recovery Set to Hyper-V host via iSCSI, or
Leverage RMC Express Restore to revert Backup image back into 3PAR as a Snapshot;

5. Overview of Express Protect script workflow
1, environment checking:
3PARinfo installed and 3PAR can be reached? Firmware? RMC-base License?
RMC can be reached? Version? Existing defined backup device?
2, ask for one of the VMs to be backed
Use PS to find all VMs on same disk/partition;
Use 3PARinfo to find 3PAR VV/VVs hosting that partition;
3, suggest that all the VMs belonging to that disk/vv are to be backup with EP
Create RMC Recovery Set on VV/VVs;
Create Backup Policy;
Create scheduled jobs;
4, ask for confirmation of run the job immediately after finish
Create VM checkpoint(s) for those VMs;
Execute EP;
Delete VM checkpoints;

6. Software defined Backup Appliance - HP StoreOnce VSA
More agility, more efficiency, lower risk
Upper-end capacity point and free low end for evaluation
4TB, 10TB, 20TB, 32TB, 50TB usable capacity options
Free 1TB HP StoreOnce VSA – with no support
Wider virtual ecosystem
All major Hypervisor platforms including Hyper-V, KVM and VMware
Reducing the cost of data protection
HPE StoreOnce deduplication reduces the disk space required to store backup data sets by typically 20x without impacting backup performance.
Lowering the cost of long term backup data retention
StoreOnce Cloud Bank Storage keeps long term backup copies at $0.001 per GB/month
